Touch the freaking base.
I love, love, love watching them take an undisputably correct, here's-the-replay 40 times call and watching them twist it into the wrong call.
I'd love to be the crew chief in the press conference. My only comment would be "watch the replay -- did the fielder touch the base?" And then I'd repeat it as the answer to every question.
The neighborhood play is dead and buried.
And maybe now they'll shut up about A-Rod not being a clutch hitter. He just launched one.
